Refer to the exhibit. Beginning with HR servers and workstations, a network
engineer is
designing a new security structure for the network. Which set of policies adheres
to the
hierarchical network model design principles?
Implement Layer 3 switching on S1 to reduce the packet processing load on D1 and
D2. Install all
security processing on S1 to reduce network traffic load.
Configure port security options on S1. Use Layer 3 access control features on D1 and
D2 to
limit access to the HR servers to just the HR subnet.
Move all HR assets out of the data center and connect them to S1. Use Layer 3
security functions
on S1 to deny all traffic into and out of S1.
Perform all port access and Layer 3 security functions on C1.

completely
converged network?
Local analog phone service can be completely outsourced to cost-effective providers.
The Ethernet VLAN structure is less complex.
A shared infrastructure is created resulting in a single network to manage.
QoS issues are greatly reduced.
There is less bandwidth competition between voice and video streams.
